*****************************************************************************************************************************
As the storm noticed the thing rising rapidly to the surface, the storm was alarmed and immediately controlled all the water it could gather to fall on top of it.
As for how it did so call it instinctual as it did it without thinking of anything complicated.
The result? It caused a large wave as a few tens of tons of water fell on the ocean while also making some clouds a little bit more see through as clouds are mostly made up of water or water droplets.
However it didn't hinder the thing that was rising, it instead made it even faster.
It didn't work and since it didn't know anything else and it couldn't control Its lightning it did what most would have done if there was nothing to be done. So instead of trying to stop it, it attempted to run away with the fishes it had.
The storm tried moved away from the thing that was surfacing.
However the storm was so large that it would take hours or even days to get away from it, but it didn't know that so Its attempt was already a failure even before it was attempted.
That thing was closing in.... it was about to reach the surface when it suddenly stopped almost like it sensed something, then it started to descended until the storm could not sense it anymore.
While the thing was still descending the storm was wondering why it suddenly descended when it was so close to the surface.
But what it didn't notice was that it seemed like it was searching for something, either way the storm was unfamiliar with such behavior.
'Perhaps it is something that i should not think about too much.'
'It might be better that way.'
The storm came to the conclusion that it should stop thinking about it.
So now it has to suffer from boredom as it now has emotions.
'The fishes are still doing fine.'
'It seems like they are nervous or are they scared maybe?
As the storm was focusing on the fishes it suddenly got frightened as a flash of lightning hit the water the fishes were floating on frying them and evaporating most of the water.
'AHHHHH!'
'NOOOO!'
'WHYYY!'
'YOUUU!'
'WHERE ARE YOU!!....'
The storm screamed in agony as it looked at the floating fried fishes.
As the storm was currently trying to track down the lightning bolt, the water with the fried fishes fell down without anything to keep them afloat as the storm was not concentrating.
The search went on for days as the storm was going crazy, meanwhile the typhoon the storm was controlling was wreaking havoc on the sea showing the full might of a tropical storm.
Two lightning flashes happened every 1.07 seconds
Strangely though as the storm was busy being angry Its surroundings have gotten hotter, the storm would soon notice that.
For now though, it was still angry and trying to find the lightning bolt which dissipated a few seconds after impact.
It noticed the box-shaped clouds in front of it and immediately Its anger disappeared like it was never there in the first place.
Now that it thought about it this was definitely not Its first time seeing it, but it can't seem to remember the last time it saw it.

'Hmm i don't get what some of this means.'
The storm not even knowing some of the words meanings resulted in it not understanding most of the texts as those words were the key part of a sentence.
In times like this knowledge would be essential alas knowledge in this location is a luxury, it can only depend on itself to understand the current knowledge has.
However the storm noticed something in the corner of it, and suddenly another box-shaped cloud appeared.
[Name: _________________________________________ ]
The storm thought about it and came to the conclusion that it did not know what a name is.
'I want to know what it means'
'But i don't think that will happen anytime soon.'
And so the storm left it at that as thinking about it will just waste time, time that would not be used either way.
The storm was going to make some waves with Its idle time.
However the moment the storm made the first wave two words appeared in Its mind,"Alto Pluvia".
'Why did that suddenly appear in my mind.'
'It isn't a good thing right?'
The storm was trying to engrave the two words into Its memory.
'It might be very important'
After being able to recall the two words easily, it now had the luxury of thinking about why it even appeared in Its mind.
'Was it really a coincidence... well if it happens again it won't be a coincidence anymore!'
It decided to think hard on Its situation, sometimes getting distracted but it always went back to Its main topic.
Unexpectedly though, Its mind wandered around for a moment and it asked itself, how could it even understand what other words meant and didn't understand what others meant and how does it even know the meanings of the things it was thinking about.
The more it thought about it, the more confused it got.
So it tried to distract itself from that topic, it hard was to distract yourself from something that you wanted to distract yourself from, but when you don't want to SUDDENLY! IT NOW HAS THE AUDACITY TO DO SO!
Even after a very long while passed by it still couldn't distract itself from that topic.
It did almost everything it could think of, then it a suddenly had great idea, wouldn't it be better to focus on something that requires a lot of attention.
So it instead tried to recall the words that it could not understand and slowly tried to familiarize with them and then tried to understand them.
It was hard, those were the only words it could describe the difficulty it was trying to do.
More than three massive bright balls of light passed by when it was trying to understand some words.(This is Its POV so it isn't going to be days)
In that period of time it passed by a lot more water, it even saw a giant wave of water once, it could remember that it was heading west, credit goes to the so-called system.
It also saw some system messages it contained the direction it was heading, emotions currently feeling, and some explanations from the system about the water, sky, winds, clouds etc.
Resulting in a larger workload, making it spend more time with trying to familiarize and understand unknown words.
Moreover it successfully distracted itself from that topic.
So It went from being confused to being ignorant.
And Its cloudy body was fine and stable as it was busy.
It was surprised by the amount of focus and dedication it had when doing something.
It also discovered something surprising.
Whenever it felt the emotion doubt, doubt that it would be able to finish this, a feeling it never encountered before suddenly overpowers Its doubts and gives it the strength to try and finish what it started.
The only word that could describe the feeling it had is "motivation" it was one of the words it recently understood or it might have been something else but it was the closest it word that could describe it.
Although it didn't stop it from taking breaks or whatnot,it also noticed that it always appears when the emotion doubt appears almost like some kind of repellent.
Sometimes though it doesn't appear even when it starts to have doubts, though it was only small amounts of doubts, its amount wasn't even close to inconvenience it.
So it came to the conclusion that only doubts that can seriously affect itself will the emotion "confidence" appear.
So all in all it learned a lot of useful things which it is sure will be useful in the future.
Unknowingly though, the moment the "Purpose" stat was unlocked something ethereal appeared inside the storm.
It was basically a copy of the storm just in an extremely tiny scale.
The storm didn't notice it as senses alone wouldn't be able to see a soul.
The system box appeared in front of it and the name box was no longer empty.
